That surprised me because I thought Rothschild was great. I felt that their hitting coach Thames should have been fired. I like him too but I think we need to get someone who stresses less strikeouts to our lineup as you said.

I personally hope they go after Ray Searage. He's currently with the Pirates but with them cleaning house, perhaps they'll completely restock their team? If so and I'm the Yanks, I'd jump on him. He's done wonders with some of Pittsburgh pitchers.

They'll have it either way. Yesterday I read the Yankees interviewed University of Michigan pitching coach Chris Fetter and are also set to interview Arkansas pitching coach Matt Hobbs.

The Nats has such a journey. Congratulations to them. Offseason is officially underway. The Yanks didn’t pick up Edwin’s option so chances are he is gone.

I'm not surprised the Yanks passed on Encarnacion. They don't lack hitting but pitching. Cole sounds all but gone from Houston with his comments after the World Series and thanking the city for his time there. Sounds like he's gone!

I think he’s gone too. He was pretty upset about not being put in the game. The angels are going to throw a lot of money at him.

I think the yanks will have to pursue either Cole, Strasburg or Bumgarner.

Strasburg I think will opt out but resign with DC. As I've said, I believe Cole will be outside of the Yankees price range. I actually brought up Bumgarner yesterday to someone I was talking to about this. I only fear that there's a lot of miles on his arm already. But a proven, 3-time World Series pitcher (and a lefty as well).

Great big game pitcher. I don’t think he will make a splash as a free agent acquisition like cole or Strasburg though.

Not as much money as Cole and Strasburg will command but he'll still get paid. Yanks are keeping Champman. Just like with CC, they're tacking on an extra year at $18 million (he already had 2 years at $30 million, so now it's a 3-year deal worth $48 million). I say that was a good move. Like to see them resign Betances now, as long as they don't go more than 3 years with him.

Didi did not accept his qualifying offer. I think that was expected but I think he will end up back with the Yankees. Unless the front office plays hard ball and decides to use the money elsewhere. Possibly for Cole.

I'm not surprised the Yanks issued him one and that he declined. Honestly, from what I've been reading online, I'm not sure the Yankees will bring him back. They may move Torres over to shortstop and have LaMeheiu at second and put their money into pitching. I'd like to see Didi back but I wouldn't be surprised if the Yankees don't make him a strong offer.

I am in the same boat. Pitching is the concern. Another contact hitter should be high on the offseason list too.

Exactly. Would love another LaMaheiu but I know that's pushing it. But yes, we need someone to make contact and advance baserunners.

We got a new pitching coach. We should be able to see how this offseason is shaping up once GMs start making moves. We will see very soon if the yanks really are in on Cole, Strasburg or Bumgarner.

Yeah I'm unsure how I feel about the Matt Blake signing. Guess time will tell as I don't know much about him?

I don’t either. Looks like there will be some big trades. Either Betts or Lindor will he traded. Maybe both.

I've heard some good things about Blake since his announcement. And for the most part, Cashman has earned my trust. He's made more good decisions than bad so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt on this. Yeah, it'll be curious if Betts and/or Lindor get traded, and if so, where they land?

Agreed. After the Red Sox/Yankees fines from earlier, Manfred said going forward, those caught engaging in using technology to cheat will receive harsh penalties. I want to see more than just a lost draft pick and a fine. Let's hope Manfred is a man of his word but from the evidence I've seen so far, going back as early as 2017 and even continuing this year, it doesn't look good for Houston.

Me too but I honestly don't think they'll get Cole (too pricey) and I think Strasburg is staying put in DC. I could see them maybe get someone like Wheeler because I think Bumgardner is going to Atlanta. Although, Cole Hamels says he might just do one year deals going forward so I'd love to see the Yankees get him on a 1-year deal for sure!

I have a Twitter but I'm never on it and have never really used it. Any links to anything you can post? Manfred stated yesterday he has no reason to investigate any other team so he's solely focused on Houston. Also hinted he could go behind what the Cardinals and Braves got recently (fines, loss of draft picks and international spending money).

Interesting. Florida can barely support the 2 teams that are there now.
